  • Chairman's Message 2016
    of our assets. An asset manager and active owner such as Industrivärden should not carry too much debt, since it would restrict our flexibility over time. We shall therefore have a positive cash flow after paying a dividend to our shareholders. The personnel changes at the CEO and Chairman level that took place in several of our portfolio compa- nies in 2015 were followed by additional changes in 2016. Hans Biörck took over as Chairman of Skanska, Anders Bouvin was appointed as new Group Chief Executive at Handelsbanken, and Börje Ekholm was named as new CEO at Ericsson. These changes feel right and will hope- fully lead to greater value creation in the years ahead. I am pleased to note that both Volvo and Sandvik are now developing in a positive direction. The companies’ new management teams, headed by Martin Lundstedt and Björn Rosengren, respectively, are doing a fine job. At SCA, the Board decided to propose to the coming AGM that the company be split into separate forest pro- ducts and hygiene businesses. Industrivärden strongly sup- ports this and believes it will create value over time. The well-timed and well-considered rights issue in SSAB was successful, and Industrivärden subscribed for its allotment Chairman’s message of SEK 0.6 billion. Continued synergies following the mer- ger with Rautaruukki were realized in 2016. In early 2016 the Board adopted a refined strategy and Our basic premise at Industrivärden is that decen- new goals for Industrivärden. During the past year these tralization creates value.

In this annual Communication on Progress, we describe our actions to integrate the UN Global Compact and its principles into our business strategy, culture and daily operations. We are also committed to share this information with our stakeholders using our primary channels of communication. Yours sincerely, Helena Stjernholm CEO Industrivärden AB, COP for 2018 Time period October 2017 - September 2018 1 Creating value through active ownership Industrivärden’s mission is to conduct long-term asset management that creates value through active ownership. The long-term goal is to increase net asset value and thereby generate a return for Industrivärden’s shareholders that exceeds the market’s required rate of return. Taking into account the risk profile of the portfolio’s investments, the shareholders are to be given a total return which over time is higher than the average for the Stockholm Stock Exchange (Nasdaq Stockholm). Operations are built upon a structured investment process of continuous analysis and evaluation of existing and potential new holdings. Active ownership is exercised primarily through involvement in nomination processes for board elections, through board representation, through evaluation of company boards, CEOs and executive managements, and by monitoring and – where necessary, through board representation – influencing the portfolio companies’ overall development. Through these measures Industrivärden contributes to the portfolio companies’ growth in value over time.
